ONI LOGAN – The Cosmic Trust Sessions (2023) *Exclusive*

Former Lynch Mob frontman ONI LOGAN is releasing a new EP titled ‘‘The Cosmic Trust Sessions” only available on physical format.
We’re all fans of Oni Logan unique voice. His work on the first Lynch Mob album was stupendous and we always thought his subsequent absence from the hard rock scene was nothing short of a crime. Sure, Oni recorded an album in the early Nineties with his band Violet Demise but never officially released – put out by Oni himself in limited copies as ‘LOGAN / ROBERTSON – Revisited’ and featured in exclusive at 0dayrox some time ago.
Since then, Logan recorded / wrote for others and released a solo album, however far from the hard rock style we love from him. Well, he’s back 2023 with a new band named Oni Logan & The Wicked Mob, and there’s an album in the making.
But let’s talk about this EP ”The Cosmic Trust Sessions” recorded last year, delivering some rocking tracks with that Lynch Mob feeling plus some heavy bluesy classic rock touches and certain darkness. All the material is very strong, timeless, and very well arranged, performed and produced…

LYNCH MOB – Lynch Mob [Rock Candy Remastered +2] (2021) HQ 0dayrox Exclusive

Here’s in exclusive the Rock Candy remastered treatment on LYNCH MOB‘s second, self-titled album “Lynch Mob“, including bonus tracks. Curiously, the two bonus tracks aren’t listed in the CD back cover. Both are the original Japanese edition bonuses.
Lynch Mob’s debut album Wicked Sensation certainly turned a few heads. All was shaping up well for album #2 but there were changes afoot. Vocalist Oni Logan had stepped away from the project leaving the spot open for another fine blues-based howler. Casting around for a suitable replacement, the band identified an excellent, but relatively unknown, replacement by the name of Robert Mason.
This time around the band opted to dispense with the services of their previous producer and turn to Keith Olsen instead. Keith’s track record was stellar; having produced massive hit records for Whitesnake and the Scorpions among many others.
It also paved the way for a slight shift in direction from their core blues rock style to a far more malleable and melodic hard rock sound, something that optimized Mason’s voice perfectly.

GEORGE LYNCH – Seamless (2021)

Ex Dokken, Lynch Mob et all guitarist GEORGE LYNCH gets to add another highlight to his 40-year career as professional musician, with the release of his first-ever full-length instrumental album, ”Seamless”. The album features nine brand new tracks and three bonus tracks from Lynch who is backed by drummer Jimmy D’Anda and bassist Eric Loiselle.
From the driving guitar riff of album opener “Quiver” and the shred-tastic, light-speed of “Death by a Thousand Licks” to the haunting outro of album closer “Falling Apart,” it is clear George Lynch was looking to explore his writing and love for the guitar.
Songs like “Cola,” “Sharks With Laser Beams,” and “Supersonic Hypnotic Groove Thing” explore the various musical styles George likes to play while giving him room to experiment with new sounds alongside his signature tone…

LYNCH MOB – Smoke And Mirrors [Limited Edition] + bonus

Co-produced by Bob Kulick, ”Smoke And Mirrors” is the LYNCH MOB album where original vocalist Oni Logan returned into the fold, as well as the hard rock signature sound that the band was known for with their debut CD ‘Wicked Sensation’. George Lynch completed the line-up with renowned bass player Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy) and drummer Scot Coogan (Brides Of Destruction).
Does Smoke And Mirrors capture the magic of years past? The answer is yes, considering more than twenty years passed between albums. Logan still has the powerful voice of yesteryear and Lynch himself hasn’t sounded this energetic in ages. It occasionally makes for perfection, but once in awhile the pair do lose their focus.
When this duo is on top of their game they have always managed to deliver somewhat haunting melodic rock. It’s not the pop-metal of Dokken, but a darker and more ominous feel, and the type of sound that Lynch Mob has (for the most part) re-created on ”Smoke And Mirrors”…

LYNCH MOB – Evil : Live [Remastered 2020] *EXCLUSIVE*

Cleopatra Records has just reissued / remastered George Lynch’s LYNCH MOB album ”Evil : Live”, a long out of print record revised in its sonic ‘mastering cut’, now coming out of the speakers punchier than never before and featuring new artwork.
On the original version Robert Mason’s vocals weren’t clear enough, and now you can appreciate how well the man performed these songs, a good mix of LYNCH MOB two first albums including the classics “Wicked Sensation,” “River Of Love,” and “Tangled In The Web”, plus a killer cover of QUEENS’s “Tie Your Mother Down” to close the show.
Of course there’s some insane Lynch guitar work, showcasing he’s not only an awesome shredder but also a skilled rhythm-driven orchestrator.
Killer record.

LYNCH MOB – Wicked Sensation [Rock Candy remastered & reloaded]

One of the greatest Hard Rock albums from the 1987-1992 golden period is without a doubt the debut from LYNCH MOB, the band formed by guitar wizard George Lynch after his departure from Dokken.
“Wicked Sensation” has been reissued by Rock Candy, and their remaster is top notch.
It was hardly a surprise when Lynch announced his departure from Dokken, the band he’d enjoyed enormous success with during the eighties. The fact that Don Dokken and George Lynch were at loggerheads for much of that time was no secret, so the split was, in many respects, inevitable.
For George it was a chance to strike out on his own, assembling a handpicked unit that retained the services of fellow Dokken drummer Mick Brown with the addition of

LYNCH MOB – Wicked Sensation Reimagined [30th anniversary edition] (2020)

Hard rock veterans LYNCH MOB will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of their seminal album “Wicked Sensation” with a special limited print/deluxe anniversary edition: “Wicked Sensation Reimagined” features re-worked and re-recorded versions of their classic songs.
The original twelve-track album, released in October 1990, is considered by many to be sacred and perfect the way it was. The idea of remaking it was not something Oni Logan or George Lynch took lightly.
“The term ‘re-record’ makes me cringe; this is not that,” explains Lynch. “We re-invented the wheel on this record. It’s really a different animal than the original! Fans won’t be disappointed!”
With the help of Robbie Crane (BLACK STAR RIDERS) on bass and Brian Tichy on drums, Lynch and Logan bring passion and power into these newly created arrangements; some that take nothing away from the old versions but bring new light and magic to the material. The songs continue to sound as fresh and timeless and will be ready to garner a whole new legion of fans for the next thirty years.

One of you asked for the Japanese version of SWEET & LYNCH new album “Unified“, including an exclusive bonus track. SWEET & LYNCH — the super-band featuring guitarist / vocalist Michael Sweet of STRYPER, legendary guitarist George Lynch (ex DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), bassist James LoMenzo (WHITE LION, MEGADETH) and drummer Brian Tichy (WHITESNAKE, DEAD DAISIES) — surpassed themselves with this...

SWEET & LYNCH – Unified (2017)

SWEET & LYNCH — the super-band featuring guitarist / vocalist Michael Sweet of STRYPER, legendary guitarist George Lynch (ex DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB), bassist James LoMenzo (White Lion, Megadeth) and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Dead Daisies) — will release its sophomore album, “Unified“, on November 10 via Frontiers Music.
A few years back we got Only To Rise, the first album from a collaboration between Sweet and Lynch. While more melodic rock and commercial than both artists’ other recent endeavors, the release still impressed, and proved that they twosome had surprisingly strong musical chemistry.
Both men keep busy in multiple acts, but have come back to give us another Sweet & Lynch record.
The duo’s debut album was an unexpected surprise, and definitely has had fans excited for the second release and their equally-notable rhythm section of LoMenzo and Tichy.
So, how does “Unified” stack up? Is the second Sweet & Lynch album another success?
